Abstract : Korean dance, which is one of the traditional Korean performing arts, has been a common way of expressing Korean peculiar emotion including -han- -heung-, and -mut-. This emotional presentation discriminates Korean dance from Western dance. In this paper, we try to understand what -han- is and assist the emotional expression of a representative Korean dance -salpuri- with empathy for -han- using a virtual environment system. Qualitative and quantitative analysis results demonstrate that -han- is related to being more dynamic and expressive and better empathy and expression of a dancer can be expected by using the virtual environment system.
